Speaking Real invites women and women identifying survivors of sexual assault to gather to share, listen, and support one another. In the wake of current media culture exposing predators on the national stage the host has felt at once vicariously vindicated and ignored like all the other survivors whose abusers aren’t deemed important enough for public interest. Speaking Real offers the relief to sit in a room with like-minded people, hear from the overlooked, and if comfortable, speak for yourself knowing that those around you are listening.
